Ham and Cheese Strata

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan and spread the bread evenly over the bottom.

2. 2

   Scatter the ham over it and then sprinkle on the cheese.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard and tarragon.

4. 4

   Add a few pinches of salt and several grinds of pepper (if substituting with something very salty like bacon, you may want to omit adding any salt at this stage).

5. 5

   Pour egg mixture over everything in the pan and let it sit for 5-15 minutes so the bread can absorb some of the liquid, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and bubbly and the custard is set.

6. 6

   Remove from oven.

7. 7

   Let it cool for 10-15 minutes or to room temperature before serving.
